A Suitable Girl

"A Suitable Girl is an overwhelming testament to the power of patriarchy and the continued struggle of women to gain agency over their lives... curiously affecting and surprisingly unprejudiced."- Shubhodeep Pal, The Hindu

"Stirring, and heartbreaking in its examination of ingrained sociocultural sexism, and the toll it takes on entire families." - Nick Schager, Variety

“The film’s directors, Sarita Khurana and Smriti Mundhra, who are both Indian American women and won the festival’s award for new documentary director, are trying to overturn stereotypes about arranged marriage.”- Kavita Das, The Washington Post
